Thoughts Are Things: by Ernest Holmes

Author: Ernest Holmes

The authors of this Science of Mind classic sum up its content as "the things in your life and the thoughts that are behind them." You will discover that the key to living a life of inner peace, contentment and fulfillment is to think in creative, positive, self-affirming ways. For, in the words of the authors, "Every thought has a consequence. And every experience has a causative thought behind it. Thoughts are things, and all the things in one's life have a thought that precedes them."

In reading this book you'll learn that if you change the content and tone of the thoughts behind the things in your life, you will permanently transform yourself and your life—for the better.

Divided into four parts: "The World Around You," "The Life You Live," "Your Mental and Spiritual Health" and "The Future Is Yours," each part is further broken down into comment and commentary. The comment pages, written by Willis Kinnear, illustrate the various problems, challenges and difficulties which everyone faces at one time or another. These commentary pages, present the solutions to those problems, challenges and difficulties.

Some of Holmes' inspiring wisdom includes

"With a penetrating vision you can dissipate the obstruction, remove the obstacle, dissolve the wrong condition."

"Instead of dwelling on negative thoughts, cause your mind to dwell on peace and joy."

"You are to have implicit confidence in your own ability, knowing that it is the nature of thought to externalize itself in your health and affairs, knowing that you are the thinker."

"Have the will to be well, to be happy, and to live in joy. . . . As you discover your daily good, and believe in it, and think about it, expect it to continue."
